Why Execution Will Decide the Future of Messaging Trust (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Text messaging has become one of the most trusted channels in the digital economy. It supports customer engagement, account recovery, authentication, and payments on a global scale. And it has become one of the most exploited. According to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), consumers reported losses of approximately $470 million from scams that originated with text messages in 2024, up from less than $90 million in 2020. That growth rate alone should command attention. The FTC has also noted
Why Your AI Strategy Will Stall Without Smarter Infrastructure (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every boardroom in America has an AI strategy now. Slide decks promise transformation. Budgets have been approved. Pilots have launched with fanfare, and executives have made bold promises to shareholders about the productivity gains coming down the pike. And yet, if you talk to the people actually building these systems, the engineers, the data scientists, the IT leaders tasked with turning strategy into software, you'll hear a very different story. Most AI initiatives aren't failing because th
In-House vs. Purpose-Built: The AI Stack Decision Telecom Operators Can't Afford to Get Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt

The forces shaping consumer demand are becoming more consequential for both airlines and telcos. This summer's KPMG Consumer Pulse Survey tells that story in numbers. Today's traveler is planning to make meaningful trade-offs to affo
Why Barium Titanate Could Be the Penelope of Integrated Photonics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The demands of AI infrastructure are reshaping integrated photonics and device architectures, pushing the industry beyond traditional pluggable optics. Previously, optical devices were typically separated from electronic components. However, the volume of data exchanged between accelerators increases exponentially as AI models and cluster sizes grow, making interconnect capacity just as important, if not more so, than computing power. With data speeds climbing to 800G, 1.6T and higher, signal lo
